Helping People. Changing Lives. Turning hope into reality. Making our service area a better place to live. This is what the Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission achieves for individuals, families, and vulnerable populations. Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission has been your local partner for 53 years. May is National Community Action month and we invite you to learn more about our agency. Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland provides vital and innovative services to Knox, Holmes, Coshocton, and Ashland counties. With many satellite offices covering nearly 2,000 square miles, we attempt to provide service to every far reaching corner of our service area. KHCA serves thousands of individuals and families each year. Specifically, in 2017 we served our communities as follows:

241 community apartment units provided decent, safe, and affordable housing in 6 housing communities. In addition, 25 single family homes built in Centerburg continue to afford families the American Dream of homeownership.

1,909 patients were served at our state-of-the-art dental clinic in Ashland where a full range of dental services are available including cleanings, x-rays, dental exams, fillings, and most all dental care procedures including pediatric dentistry.

321 children and their families were enrolled in the Head Start program. These children received kindergarten preparedness pre-school services including education; nutrition; health, dental & vision screenings; and other supportive services.

8,916 applications were processed and approved for the various HEAP programs including Winter Crisis, Summer Crisis, Regular HEAP, and Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) keeping families warm in the winter, vulnerable populations cool in the summer, and affordable heating and cooling options with payment plans.
